To check if the module was loaded type: sudo lsmod | grep (module name here) If nothing shows up here just try "sudo lsmod" and try to find what looks like the module needed. To try to load the module manually: sudo modprobe -v (module name here) To list all of the modules on the system: ls -R /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel 'uname -r' is your kernel version. type "uname -r" at the command prompt and replace the output into the command above. I hope you know or can find the name of the module; I think it would probably be named "spca5xx", but I am not sure. If you can't find the module on the system, there must have been something wrong with the install of the driver. If there are any errors while running these commands, try to quote them on your next post.

There's a useful webpage <a href="http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/devices.php"> http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/devices.php</a> which listed some canyon webcam and said they worked with spca5xx drivers. I guess then my cam should also work with it if I'm lucky. Which is the easiest way of configuring a webcam with spca5xx? Just installing the spca5xx-source or easyspca package is enough or more config should be done? (I tried to install and run Easycam2 but the app didn't start for me.) I found this page too: (<a href="http://ralph.n3rds.net/index.php?/archives/124-Webcam-installation-scripts.html"> http://ralph.n3rds.net/index.php?/archives/124-Webcam-installation-scripts.html</a>) and installed easyspca (and zenity) and tried to install the driver with it but the script was terminated. The dialog said the spca5xx module was not found... :-( 2007/4/24, Andrew Jarrett <<a href="mailto:jarrett.andrew@gmail.com">jarrett.andrew@gmail.com</a>>: > Hi, > > I don't own that webcam, but why don't you have a look at this: > <a href="http://www.linux.com/howtos/Webcam-HOWTO/hardware.shtml">http://www.linux.com/howtos/Webcam-HOWTO/hardware.shtml</a> > > I hope it helps you fix your problem! > > Andrew > > > On 4/23/07, Magyari, Balázs <<a href="mailto:tripatos@gmail.com">tripatos@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > I have just bought a Canyon CN-WCAM313 webcam.
